How fast did you guys get elastics?

Hello!

I’ve been reading some threads on elastics, and from what I’ve seen so far is that almost everyone got them quite far into the process, 6 months in at least. I just had my second adjustment, so exactly 2.5 months since I got braces, and they’ve given me the bands. It’s not that I don’t trust my ortho, I’m just really surprised? I didn’t expect to get them so soon, not for another couple months at least.

That’s why I’m curious - is there anyone else who got elastics so soon? How far into the process were you guys, and for how long did you wear them?
